Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and good longevity make it suitable for evenings out, particularly dates and formal events where its complex character can be appreciated. The initial 'challenging' opening and rich, warm accords might be a bit much for a conservative office environment, but it can work for casual wear once it mellows.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an exhilarating hit of bitter cacao and zesty mandarin, laced with boozy rum for a spirited start. The heart softens into a creamy, powdery iris, underscored by smooth sandalwood and a surprising breath of eucalyptus. As it settles, dark coffee and earthy vetiver mingle with an almost buttery richness, creating a deeply luxurious and sophisticated dry-down.
